Lay you on the floor

Heavy like the force between us

I feel the tension rise as we drive down the main roads, I wait and wait until we arrive at Nialls 

I pull on the strings of my grey cotton hoodie, I decided for a basic look didn't really feel like dressing up, I wanna rest with harry I wanna sleep the hours away right now but I know he needs to speak his mind to everyone

it feels like hours of silence when we arrive, I hear the car turn off and I open the door to get out, I step out and I'm greeted with harry's hand

I take it of course and I look up to him, "I'm proud of you for doing this" I whisper and he pushes a hair out of my hair making me shiver just by his touch 

he leads me inside and I'm met with plain white walls, green ivory plants hanging from all the walls along with dark grey detailing with his couch and kitchen

I see the group sit on the couch when their eyes find ours I see their breathing increase to a high speed, I take a seat next to ember and she wraps her arm around me, "I missed you how are you doing?" she whispers and I shrug, "shaken up but I'm more worried about harry" I say back and she nods squeezing me 

Harry stands before everyone and he clears his throat, "okay, um I've never been this open with people before, I've tried in the past with you guys because well since your my family" he says shyly and I see the tenseness change 

"Harry whatever has happened were on your side always, you know that right?" Lou says and everyone nods making him smile 

"I've known Matthew a long time, longer than any of you" he starts and no ones says anything 

"he was very good friends with my father, he started coming around when I was around 5 I think,  he would come over for family dinners and Christmas, sometimes even Patrick would come over but that was on rare occasion" he says and I look to him 

he knew Patrick all this time? 

"I knew my father was a powerful business man, he never approved of my singing, even at the start of our career he didn't like it, it was my mom she was was my biggest supporter along with gem" I smile at the mention of his sister 

"my father always has his study, it was this big room in the very corner of the house upstairs, it was always locked and no one could enter, except for Matthew... when I turned around the age of 12 I got curious, everyday my father would step out around 1 to grab lunch with coworkers and my mom would be with gem at the mall or the nail salon, I was home alone" he says and I feel my breath quicken
